Is Damon Albarn Bisexual?
Sarita
I recently found an old newspaper at work (Toronto Star; December 13,
1997), and I noticed a picture of Blur, so with interest I read the
article. The article is called 'The Revenge of the Sissy Boy', and it
seems to be about how gay men seem to be more accepted now, and how they
have always been accepted in music. However, I was absolutely shocked
when I read part of the article:
"The recent Brit-pop wave of nancy boys-the British equivalent of
sissy-includes lead singers Damon Albarn of Blur and Brett Anderson of
Suede, both of whom are out as bisexual.
'Maybe, maybe, it's the clothes we wear, the tasteless bracelets and the
dye in our hair,' go the lyrics to a Suede song, with Blur blurs with:
'Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like their
girls who do girls like their boys always should be someone you really
love.'
Albarn and Anderson take their cues from original nancy boys, like
Morrissey and the Pet Shop Boys, who kept their sexuality non-sexual."
It makes no difference to me what their sexual preference is. I just
had no idea that Damon Albarn was bisexual. Did anyone else know this?
Perhaps this article has got its facts mixed up. Comments anyone?

i fear this article may have just taken lyrics a little too literally at times.
oh, and morrissey never claimed to be nonsexual. he just said he didn't
have sex, and never said he didn't like either.
on another morrissey note -- i don't know how i feel about that past tense
they used. do they think he's dead or something? for christ's sake, he's
alive and kicking (and it's rumored there's been a few sexual
relationships of his in the past few years. both with men and women).
and they kinda screwed up the whole brett anderson thing, too.
i could have sworn he said that he was interested in both sexes, but has
never been with a man (which IMHO means that he's not really all that
bisexual, but that's just me. please no flames).
soooooooo, the overall accuracy of this article is questionable, i think.

Which could mean anything really - dyed hair, bracelets and clothes -
oooh, tres bi.

About a trip he and Justine had in the Med. Quote from him was about how
like a herd it was and how little morality.
Dunno cos I don't know them, but from what I've read Damon seems to not be
that highly sexed, but a bit of a slapper with the women and hence the
infamous 'open' relationship with Justine.

I've got some article from around 1985 which suggests he was, at that
time, nonsexual - thinking the whole thing rather sick and IIRC rather
having a nice cup of tea.
> soooooooo, the overall accuracy of this article is questionable, i think.
Oh yes, most dodgy.

if they are bi, then more power to them. it seems that being bi now is the
"cool" thing to do (or so some say). i wouldn't know...some things just come
naturally. nevermind, i tend to digress anway...

I remember reading something where Damon and Graham both said they've gotten
crushes on men before, but they weren't sexual. They just thought they were
beautiful.

I read in one of their biographies where Damon said summat about 'having
experienced with lads, but I prefer a good pair of tits' or something to
that degree. The bio's by Martin Roach, so go check it out!

I think you underestimate this article, I for one was/still am certain that
Damon is a Bi-sexual I also believe this to be the case for Alex as well.
Can't think of any arguments for my cause right now so I'll just leave it at

There is a quote from a while back, where Damon admitted to "trying out
both sides of the fence". While he may not be biologically bisexual, he
has experimented.

Does it really matter whether he shags men, women or animals? Ok - maybe
we'd be pretty disgusted if Damon was shagging sheep but what I mean is it
doesn't really matter whether he is or isn't bisexual. I fancy Damon and
nothings going to change that cos I think he's gorgous and I love english
accents. The fact is I'm just into the whole look - if I saw a lad that
looked like Damon or Damon ( if he wasn't famous ) I'd still think PHWOAR!
cos I like his look - the beads, hair, runners etc... Probably why some of
my ex's look amazingly like Dave. Don't get your knickerws in a twist but
isn't one of Damon's famous qoutes - " I don't care who I snog, girls or
boys ". Anyway in my Blur book there's a picture of him about to meet stick
his tounge down Paul Lesters (author) throat. Okay this is going nowhere -
I love Damon even if he becomes a Priest and goes to Mars to spread the
faith.

alot of people have asked me the same question
(if I'M bi that is not if Damon Albarn is -- sorry)
what I think is:
the only people that DO know are the ones you've
been sexually involved with -- and the only
people that NEED to know are the ones you're
presently shagging -- or are about to!! and
the only people that WANT to know must
consider themselves in the latter group
having said that, Damon is sexy!! and
remember, "heteros" and "homos"
are the weirdos, everyone else
gets to have sex with at least
twice as many people!!

As I said in my original post, I don't care if he is bisexual. A
person's sexuality preferences does not in any way affect my judgment
about them. He could be making porno's with men and I wouldn't care. I
still love the music of Blur, and no matter what happens I will continue
to listen to them. I, being like most other people, was just curious to
know. Whoever he fancy's though, I don't care.

Don't know anyone lad that looks like Graham unfortunately :( and if I did
I'd keep him to myself. It's Graham's birthday today but by the time I post
this it probably won't be. Emm - doesn't anyone out there think Damon and
Dave look alike? I have this poster and they both look like twins. One ex
looks like Dave the other looks like a mixture of Dave & Damon.

damn just when I managed to gain a cyber-following I have to go and post a
typically Sagittarian blunt raving....
Chin up, Jenn....Megan gave me a sound drubbing for that Jarvis comment -- for
some reason I've never been able to fathom (save "Common People") she actually
likes Pulp....hmmm, some people!! I feel that I must point out, however, that
she has described him as "fey" on occasion
anyway, just because I called him a sissy doesn't mean I'm slagging
him....does it? -- On the other hand, he told off Michael Jackson didn't he?
That's a relatively brave thing to do in the "pop" world....although, a bigger
sissy than jacko would be hard to come by
what I'm saying is, sorry Jenn if I pissed you off -- I hope you don't take it
personally, in fact, usually if I pissed you off that means I pissed everyone
off ;)
no slagging intended!!

Sarita, this is just an article written by someone who knows nothing about
what they're speaking of, and furthermore, knows nothing about the fact that
the content of lyrics or songs doesn't necessarily spell out the character
of the writer. Damon a "sissy-boy". What the hell is that all about? He's
just a regular guy who happens to be a great tunesmith. As you say, who
cares about preference, but I've never heard of Albarn being even remotely
bisexual. Girls and Boys is about confusion in sexual identity amongst many
British youth, its not about Damon Albarn prancing about in Greece in
women's knickers. I just read a review of Blur on a website that was
totally ridiculous as well. They said that with the release of Blur, they
no longer sound like Duran Duran! Like they ever did. I've read the Star
and the Globe and other local papers (I'm from Hamilton) and they truly
don't know a thing about music unless its very, very popular, as in on the
official charts etc. The article I read even went on to say that Damon
sings, "Oh I should be someone you really love" instead of, "Always should
be..." in Girls and Boys. Sad isn't it.
Furthermore, Girls and Boys is somewhat like the Smith's How Soon is Now in
the way that the song is so entirely unlike the rest of their material. I
doubt the writer you referred to has even heard the rest of Parklike or any
album before.
I don't know much about Suede, but I do recall that when they initially came
out their easily some question of sexuality in terms of visual
presentation. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore however.

I just wanted to post that I agree "Girls And Boys" and "How Soon Is Now?" are
very much alike -- but I DON'T think either of them is unlike the rest of their
material -- in fact I think they're both quintessential songs, you can kinda
see a little bit of all their songs in them -- in that respect they are
perfectly typical "signature" tunes (emphasis on the perfect) -- typical Graham
guitar weirdness (genius), typical Damon sarcastic cynisism-wittisism,
cool-dude ladykiller bassline from fag-boy (as in ciggie), and Dave!! (all
drummers are insane...that's why they're so polite)
by the way, the bassline in "Girls And Boys" DOES sound like early Duran Duran
so very representative of the rest of their material. Ho hum, another POP GEM
from Blur....so what else is new.....yawn....
it's enough to make a fan spoiled

This has gotten a bit boring so I thought I'd let Damon Albarn have the
last word......
"I don't mind kissing men at all.... I don't wank over men. If you think
about men when your're on your own and you want to have a wank, then you've
got an interest in men which is homosexual".
For all u Americans "having a wank" is the same as "jerking off" or so I'm

I would never take an article with that sort of title seriously. It does put a
grin on my face. I'd love to pin that on my wall!!! This same article came up
several months ago. I recall the Toronto Star is "barely" a legitimate paper!
To me, nobody is an "out" bisexual until they make the specific announcement,
"yes, I'm a bisexual." I don't care how much they hint or tease.

I'd have to say that most aren't. There are a good amount that I know
that *claim* to be but they're of the variety that will do or say
anything for the sake of being cool. 10 years from now they'll be
straight. But, I do know a fair amount of bisexual females *but* I AM in
LosAngeles and I would expect whatever you've got out here you'll have a
lot less in most parts of the world. I mean, for the longest time I
though the world was mostly populated by Jews, little did I know that
they really only make up a *very* small amount of our world-wide
population.
> (perhaps I just attract sexually liberated free-spirits)
I don't know if it's necessarily that they're 'liberated'. I can agree
with the theory that sexuality is largely based on genetics, and so you
can heterosexual or completely homosexual and be truly sexually free. I
am completely hetero- myself, but have no issues with other forms of
sexuality, I just have no interest in it.
Interestingly enough, like you, the majority of men that I have been
attracted to were bi. Perhaps it's because that is the only ones you'll
find who are more in touch with their feminine side without being of the
'pussy-whipped' variety of heterosexual male. Don't want me no sissy boy

As I said above, sexuality could very well be genetics and I know many
heterosexual people who only have an interest in the opposite sex and
homosexuals who have only an interest in the same sex..and then there
are the inbetween people. Most of these people are quite comfortable
with their sexuality, but this is just the way that they are.

Oh please. Are we being soooo serious here? My boyfriend is a feminine guy. I
joke around and call him my little "sissy".....likewise he'll call me "fag" or
"queerbait". "Sissy" isn't always a degrading insult....it depends on the
context. In the case of me and my boyfriend, we use the word "sissy" as a joke
on ourselves. Seriously though, I do prefer femguys to "sissys"......'cos all
the self identified "sissys" I've run into have wanted me to dominate them,
wanted to lick my heels, get a spanking instead of sex, etc. The "serious
sissy" type! It's definitely NOT a joke to them, they'll say stuff like "I
wanna be your SISSY", and they aren't necessarily "feminine".

for the sake of accuracy I'd like to point out the fact that I have never
mentioned ever being attracted to any men, let alone saying that most of the
men I was attracted to were bi (i'm assuming the "like you" referred to me,
since you were quoting my post)
I DID say that Damon was sexy. but 1. saying someone is attractive and saying
you are attracted to someone are different things and 2. nobody but Damon
knows if he is "bi"
or are you just assuming I'm bi and saying you are attracted to me?

I can agree with the theory that states that humans want to have sex. but I
don't agree with the theory that states people are born "straight" or "gay" or
whatever. Take some responsibilities for your actions!! You are "completely
hetero" because you want to be, not because you were created that way. and
clinging to labels like "straight" and "gay" is slavery, the exact opposite of
being "sexually free"

I agree, there are women I see and I do think they are quite attractive
though I have feel no sexual desire for them. Anyhow, I have no idea
wether Damon is bi or not..I completely agree with you.

lol...see above!

I still don't agree. Even intelligence is something that depends on 70%
genetics and I see no reason why sexuality does not follow the same
course. There are many things in humanity that in the rest of the animal
kingdom are mainly dependent on genetics yet why are we so superior?

lol..ok, ok..I don't think it can be passed on..I meant more along the
lines of our dear lil friends, the chromosones.
Anyhow, this isn't too far out a theory that sexuality is something we
are born with. It's been discussed in many a scientific journal I have
read and both sides make good cases, though I have noticed more and more
it has become more of a poltical issue than a scientific one. In fact
I'd bet that this is what this *thread* is based on..

Gender has a *lot* to do with it unless you are bisexual. Contrary to
popular opinion in this thread, not everyone is bisexual at the center
of their being when they are 'sexually free' as you so eloquently put it
many posts ago.
I have friends who claim they are "completely gay" and I see no reason
why it should be viewed as something that is 'wrong' to say. I didn't
make an issue of it, I just said that I am completely heterosexual. I
know people who claim to be heterosexual or homosexual but will lean
both ways on occasion, so in all honesty they are most likely bi-sexual.
I, in full honesty, only feel sexual attraction to members of the
opposite sex. And by being completely hetero does not mean that I refuse
to admire the beauty in someone of the same sex, I just feel no shaggin'
desire

remember the time when Calvin took hundreds of pictures of Hobbes making
lots of gross faces? He then showed it to his dad, and because Calvin
was the only one who could see Hobbes really 'alive', each and every
single picture was of the exact same thing..the blank look of a stuffed
animal shot from the exact same angle........um, perhaps you'd have to
see it to get it..
oh wait, my favorite was the time when he made a group of snowmen
singing around their snowman friend whose head had fallen off..
<sigh> best cartoon ever..
anyhow,
Just because an opinion or idea is politically correct doesn't mean it
can by-pass science and become fact.

err....why SHOULD sexuality follow the same course? (and that would be the 70%
Course, by the way?) Look, if it was really true that sexual preference is
"genetic", that you can be "born gay", how would you pass that genetic trait
along?? Through homosexual sex??!!
people are attracted to the people they let themselves be attracted to, and
people shag the people that let them. gender has little to do with it (unless
you make it an issue, which you have, not by saying you're "hetero", but by
your claim that you are "completely hetero" -- OK, now I'M making an issue of
it but I thought it was funny)

I don't think the "popular" opinion mantains that so-called "bisexuality" is
the norm. That's not even an opinon I consider valid. My whole point is: if
you need to define yourself as "homo" or "hetero" or "bi" then you are a slave.
People are "sexual", end of story. It's the LABELS that are bad for people --
even if they label THEMSELVES -- and THAT is a FACT
